LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1838. At a meeting of the Vestry of Marylebone held last w eek, the question of imprisonment for debt was brou ht under discnssion, on the motion of a Vestry maA, that the clause in the Local Courts Bill a.utho riaill, g th;it barbarous and unconstitutional practice, ghoul ' d b e retained. The motion was carried by a majo r it) of one. Had the Vestry been unanimously in fay( tut of it, we do not think it would have finally and ah so lutely set the matter at rest, however it might have 1 cr Nered• in public estimation, a body of men placed in a respectable situation, and generally pro fessing ; to advocate the cause of liberty. We arc happy to fith . 1, however, that even as regards the parish the questi oat is not definitively disposed of. Mr. WIL SON, an able and intelligent member of the Vestry, gave notice at the meeting above mentioned, that he woul id again try the question by Moving, at the proper time, the n on-confirmation of the minute relating to this cubjeet.. We trust, for the credit of the Vestry, that - he wUll be successful. W e hay e so often expressed our sentiments on this important subject, that it is unnecessary for us to- en large upo n it at present. None of the speakers at this meeting pretended to justisfy the incarceration of the debtor on principle. Nay, the mover of the ques tion expressly stated that he was opposed to theprin ciPie of imr2risonment for debt ; and yet, with a de gree of: inconsistency which heats anything that h as Cm ne under our observation for a long time, de clared .rnimself to b e i n f avour o f t h e pract i ce. An d why e Because, fors oo th, t ra d esmen fi n d i t necessary. I h . At is to say, tradesmen have got into their ha lids an instrument by which they think they can e'kt ort payment from their debtors, and they will not coliinquish the use of it, be it ever so cruel to tthe individual, or pernicious to society. What a compliment is here paid to the humanity and patriotism of the trading community ! It has been proved beyond the possibility of cavil that the imprisonment law not only violates the funda mental principles of that Constitution of which Eng lishmen are so proud, but that in almost all the cases in which it appears to act with effect, it is pro ductive of the grossest injustice, by throwing the pay ment of the debt upon the friends of the debtor who not the means of paying it himself ; while in ir.ultitudes of instances it produces no result but that of unmitigated misery to its unhappy victim, and those who depend upon him for support. No man can Pass through the ordeal of a debtors' prison with out being the worse for it ; few, it is foared, es ape complete demoralization. By the associations unto whi c h t h e i nmates of a prison are necessarily led, the moral principles are undermined, and the Tv hole .character contaminated, 60 that by the time the debtor Is rest ore d to liberty, he has under gone a transforma tion' 11+.4telt not only unfits him for the discharge of the soci al duties, b u t s i n k s hi m i nto a degraded being, agair.st whom society must be upon its guard. Th le poor Aldermen seem quite broken-hearted a the idea of the eating and drinking part of the Corona 140n, ',being do ne away with. They cannot possibly a ntagine how a Que en o f E ng l and can b e const i tu • tioßrally crowned without a dinner. This, in their tmation, is the most essential—nay, the most 'which part and sacred —part of th e b us iness, and that hinds them the most stringently to their alle gtbranCe. Alderman C OPELAND was qu i te pat h et i c on evr ee:s much ay l ast S aturday, and as Aldermen—how it t may be with t h e i r coo k s — are usua ll y u ot given t o " t h e me l t i ng moo d," we note the pensive remarks of this soul-stricken h i e tz z , vero serverl " He cou ld not but express deep concern, " << at the seem i ng d e t erm i nat i on o f Go tnbment t , hat th e coronation of her MAJESTY should o be sole mn i zed on the magnificent scale for which the re were such numerous authorities in former reigns. The Years and infirmities of the QUEEN'S immediate predecessor were an adequate excuse for the curtailment °f part of the ceremonial ; but in her MAJESTY'S case there was every thing that was calculated to lead to the 'expectation that all the forms would be roost strictly observed, and that an entertainment I3 f the most splendid description would be pre pared in 'Westminster Hall." This passage is curious, as giving in a few terse, significant word s , an Alderman's notion of a dinner. It is an affair of unspeakable importance, requiring infinite phy sical exertion on the part of the diner, and is not there fore to be undertaken by any one who, like the late KING, is weighed down " by years and infirmities." Such a man may eat, but he cannot be expected to dine, in the civic sense of the term. In her MA JESTY'S case, however, no such apologetic plea can be urged. Her youthful appetite is all that an appe tite should be—vigorous—elastic—and capable of un dergoing an Aldermanic amount of fatigue ; why then Should she not have the opportunity of exhibiting her digestive prowess, to the oblectation of her loyal a nd well-fed citizens? Now, it is clear from this .10 Cic, that our City Aldermen—some of them at least *--estimate her Majesty in proportion to the capa tilities of her appetite ; and that consequently if she ,wish to stand well with them, she must fairly .eat her ''ay into their good graces. But is not this, we re allectfully ask, rather too great a sacrifice to be, 'xacted from a delicate young lady who has 11° t yet completed her eighteenth year ? How C4ll sh e be expected to cope with hearty, vete ,lfan trench er - men, w h ose whiskers have grown grey r oot the excessive exercise their jaws have had cthirty y ears an d upwar d s ? N othing under a shark ertn astonish an Alderman in the way of gulosity— and iS her MAJESTY to be put to a test like this ? Our worthy citizens, however, seem resolved, so far as th ey halve any influence, that the Coronation din ter shall not be dispensed with ; and accordingly 'Messrs. COPELAND and PIRIE both announce their !earliness to subscribe " five hundred pounds" towards It ; and add, moreover, their conviction that they could w i t h ease, in one week, raise a hun . dred thousand pounds for the momentous occa 4°n." Mark th e excee di ng reverence i n w hi c h profou n Lunduir d l eatina and d r i n king are held in the city o f Here we fi n d that the citizens can, with , out thesli ghtestdifficulty, raise an incredibly enormous THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 16, 1838. sum for a Coronation banquet ; yet they are too poor to raise one-tenth part of the amount for the Spital fields weavers, who are starving by hundreds under their very nose I It is clear to us, from the stirring, heart-felt zeal with which the Aldermen are taking up the subject, that should no Coronation-dinner take place, some of them, from sheer spleen and disappoint ment, will turn Radicals ; and others adopt the convic- tion that nothing but a Republic can save the country. ThiN is a serious . consideration ; but, thank God, we have still the Bcef-eaters, and the City light-horse-1 —so called, because every man i❑ the squad weighs upwards of twenty stone, averdupoise weight—left to protect us ; and so long as this is the case, and these fiery and intrepid warriors hold firm to their allegiance, we need appre hend nothing from the effects of Aldermannic rage and disappointment, even through the banner of re publicanism be unfurled by a COPELAND and a Pr R We see by an advertisement that the Post-office pro poses to contract with stage-coach and omnibus proprie for conveying two-penny post bags, once a day, to tors several towns and villages within the sphere of the two-penny post. We hardly know what improvement is to be effected by this change, but we presume it is to convey an additional bag each day, at a cheap rate to all the places mentioned. If it be intended wholly to supersede the riding boys, it will probably be eonomical, as well as more efficient, and will lead the Post-office to extend the plan. Places within forty miles of Lon don, even now, and within eighty miles of London, with rail-roads, can easily receive letters from London and send an answer on the same day; and we know not why the Post-office, which will not allow coach men to bring letters, should not contract with the coaches which pass daily to places within forty miles of London to bring and carry a mail-bag. The revenue would be thereby improved, and the public conveniency promoted. We beg leave to hint to the Managers of the Post-office, that it is their duty, as the law will not allow individuals to carry letters, to watch the various improvements which are taking place in communication, and extend the sphere of the Post-office accordingly. If, in establishing more frequent communications with different places, the Post-office would charge only a moderate rate of postage, it would benefit both to the Government and the public. There are many things which are continually de scribed to us as most beautiful and most useful, be cause it is supposed they ought to be beautiful or were intended to be useful, which when examined are found not to answer to the description. To have, for example, one class of well educated men set apart for the purpose of instructing the community in religion and morality, ensuring them against want by an ade quate income, and enabling them to command respect by throwing around them all the adventitious aids of opulence, is generally supposed to be one of the finest inventions of statesmanship. We conceive at once how numerous must be the advantages of having a body of well educated men scattered through the country, acting in every village as a check on the grasping avarice of the rich, and encouraging the humble, and honest labours of the poor. The mind is immediately convinced that such a body of men, embued with the principles of Christian charity, and standing up with a mild, but firm and commanding countenance for the rights of the poor, acting as their protector and guardian, gaining their confidence and deserving their esteem, must be invaluable, both to secure their rights and teach them their duties. Such in fact is generally described to be the office and effects of the labours of the Clergy. \\re easily conceive, too, that such men, meriting the character assigned them of being the " salt of the earth," should watch over the changing morality of the community, and warn it daily and hourly against all its prevailing vices. Standing up with a bold front to admonish rulers of their duty, and subjects of their interest, we think of such men as the chosen advisers and counsellors of all classes, sent on the high and noble mission to warn, guide, and improve the whole. A great body of men, endowed with a religious character, selected from the whole society, and placed in a state of pecuniary inde pendence, having for theirduties to warn and counsel the community, and be the advocates of the poor, the lowly, and the oppressed, such as the clergy of the Church of England are described, would seem to be, of all in stitutions, one of the best that the wit of man ever devised. Such in fact is the character given of the State Clergy by those who sound their praise in reviews, magazines, and newspapers. What is the fact ? The great bulk of the Clergy are divided into two classes, the rich and the poor. The rich Clergy are the associates and friends of rich men. They live with nobles, and have a common in terest with the landowners and opulent classes. Instead of standing up as the protectors of the poor, they are the great helps in oppressing them. Adding to their ecclesiastical functions secular duties, they make laws in the House of Peers and execute them in the country. They are benefited like other landowners by those Corn-laws which starve the people, and the so-called protectors of the poor both make these iniquitous laws and enforce them as Magistrates on their hungry flocks, telling them too that it is a religious duty to submit to the poverty and starvation which the unrighteous lawgiver imposes on them. It is not a part of our case that the New Poor-law is injurious to the people ; but the Tory Journals say that the law is grossly oppressive, and it was concocted and recommended by one Bishop, and has been supported by nine-tenths of the opulent Clergy of the country. With one or two exceptions the great bulk of the Clergy have been amongst the most zealous supporters of the law. The reason is plain. It was in tended to lower the poor-rates—to make the burden of supporting the poor less—to take something from them ; and all the opulent Clergy having a common interest with the landowners, have, nearly one and all, joined with them on this, as on all other questions, against the poor, of whom they are in theory said to be the guar dians and the protectors. All the richer Clergy being closely allied with all the opulent classes have in fact the same interest as they have ; and as far as the poor have anything to dread from the oppressions of their richer brethren, they can only look on the Clergy as the close friends and allies of their oppressors. Now, as to the poor Clergy. They have no means to help the people. They are without power or influ ence, and look up to the Bishops and their richer brethren, or to the rich landowners, in whose hands are nearly all the livings of the country, for their m eans of subsist ence an d a d vancement. If th e r i c h Clergy are the allies, the poor Clergy are the servants or the toadies of the opulent classes ; and it turns out, in fact, that the theory of the Clergy being the friends and protectors of the poor, is wholly false. The State Clergy derive their power and their reve nues from the law-making classes ; they look up to them exclusively for the continuance of their income and their honours; and though it may be very useful for the upper classes to have such a body of auxiliaries scattered through the country, it is a mockery of the public understanding, and a mockery of the bulk of the people, to describe them as the friends and guardians of the poor. Looking at the Clergy in their character of public guides, as watchi ng over t h e v i c i ou ', counsellors and tendencies of the community, and warning it against them, how can they act efficaciously when they are themselves deeply tinctured with th e preva ili ng v i ces ? Avarice, extortion, money-getting i n all its forms, are the plague spots of the community. Not from jealousy, not from revenge, not from boiling passion of any kind, but from low, sordid, calculating avarice, spring nearly all the crimes which the laws have to punish. But how can a Bishop teach the people the dangers of greediness, when he declares that it is not posssible for him to live on less than 5,0001., and many Bishops call themselves poor with six, eight, or ten thousand ? Or how can a Rector with his 1,000/. or 1,500/. a-year, and spending half his time away from his duties, succeed in convincing the pa rishioners, of the propriety of being contented with the small pay of 12s. a-week, for never-ending toil ? The petitioners for increased endowments, the men whose great aim is to rival the landed ar istocracy and the opulent manufacturers , c an never w arn the community, effectually, against the besettin g sin of avarice. If the State Clergy are the salt of the earth, the salt has lost its savour. A dmittin g then, on the whole, the beauty of the descrip tion which is given by the admirers of a State Clergy—of their offices and duties, we must say, that the facts contradict the de scription, and the beautiful theory of our Tory writers is not confirmed by experience. Owing to an unusually heavy press of domestic intelligence, we were prevented, day after day since Thursday last, from reverting to the rather extraordi nary intelligence which we then stated had been re ceived from St. Lucia—a small but not unimportant possession of Great Britain in the West Indies. St. Lucia was taken possession of by the English in 1639, but in 1650 it was seized by the French, who held it till 1763, when it was formally ceded to that Power. In 1803 it again fell into the hands of the English, and in 1815 was ceded to Great Britain by the Con gress of Vienna. As France colonized it, the bulk of the inhabitants, like those of Lower Canada, speak the French language, and in that language have the proceedings of the Civil and Judicial Courts of the Island been hitherto conducted. These preliminary observations must be borne in mind by those who would fully understand the merits of the question which we are about to submit to them. The Royal Court of Jamaica is composed of three judges, of which only the principal, or Chief Justice, receives a salary. The others are styled " Puisne Judges," but the constitution of the Court is such that no legal proceeding can take place unless the three judges are present on the bench. It appears, from the Barbadian of the 7th of February, that some time in October last, one of the Puisne Judges re signed ; but for some unexplained cause, the Gover nor, Colonel BUNBURY, declined to appoint to the vacant judgesh;p, in consequence of which the legal business to be disposed of fell into arrear, and litigants were put to the greatest inconvenience. In fact, the course of justice was completely suspended. During this period several petitions were presented to Colonel BUNBURY praying the appointment of a Judge, but no regard was paid to them, till a gentle man named CH RICHLOw, threatened that in the event of an action in which he was engaged not being disposed of, he would appeal for protection to her Majesty in Council. This threat had the desired effect. A Judge was appointed, but solely for the especial dis posal of that one case. This was objected to by the Chief Justice REDDIE, who stated in open Court, that it was not competent to the Governor to appoint a Judge, subject to limitations, tantamount to a denial of justice to the QUEEN'S subjects. The language of the Chief Justice on this occasion,' was worthy of his sacred official character ; The course of the administrationlf justice, the p owers an 3 duties, and obligations, devolving orrthe Chief Justice and the first Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of this Colony, un der the Royal Order in Council cannot be contingent on, or restrained, or limited by the terms of tyre Commission of any second Puisne Judge or by any power or authority in this colony. The governor or officer administering the govern ment may suspend the judges, but he cannot alter the order hi council, or constitution of the court, or abrogate the judges' functions and duties as regards the public of this colony, or appoint or direct what causes shall be heard, and what shall not bc heard by the Royal Court. We have accepted Mr. Agostini bearing his Excellency Col. Bunbury's commission as second puism. judge : as second puisne judge Mr. Agostini has been sworn into that his office. The Court is now complete, and we are now to proceed, as by law directed. We are bound to make no distinction of persons or cases, we cannot select some causes for decision and reject others, grant justice to some and refuse it to others. We dare not do so. _ . This Court must be o p en t o_ all and for all, and we are bound by the law to proceed as heretofore with the causes ai they have b?en enrolled, according priority or- advantage to none.—[Here Mr. Agostini, Second Puisne Judge, left the bench, saying he had already stated his motives for declining to hear the causes now before the Court, but that he was pre pared to sit and hear the causes mentioned in his Commission, as soon as they were called. The Second Puisne Judge then took a scat below the Bench, but within the bar.] His Honour the Chief Justice then added :—Mr. 2nd Puisne Judge will leave the Bench or will stay as he pleases, on his own responsibility, and at his own peril ; if, as 2 n d Puisne Judge, he is here to form part of the. Court and to discharge his functions and duties as such and according to law, we can proceed as a Court, not otherwise ; for us, for the Ist Puisne Judge and myself, wo are determined with loyalty to hold to the law, and the Royal Order in Council of 20th June, 1831, while by her Majesty's favour we are continued in the high trust now committed to us. God defend us from doing otherwise ! We have no power to do otherwise, and we have no other security, no one has any other security, for all that is binding, for all that is great, or good, or sacred amongst us. The Royal Court of Supreme Jurisdiction in this Colony is by the Charter of Justice open for all, and will be so, and re main so, as long as we are its Judges. The very next day the 20th of December, Colonel BUNBURY, in the plenitude of his power, dismissed Chief Justice REDDIE, and First Puisne Judge LAFFITTE from the Bench, and appointed Messrs. GOVAN, Cox, and FERGUSON in their room. The dismissed judges protested; against this proceeding, and we believe their complaints are now under the con sideration of her MAJESTY'S Government. But the disgrace of two able and uptight judges did not satisfy the vengeance of Colonel BUNBURY. The bar of St. Lucia—disgusted at so wanton an act of despotism —refusing to plead before the new Court, Colonel BUNBURY, by a proclamation dated the 22d of February of the present year, abolishes the use of the French language in the legal proceedings of the island after the Ist of March, substituting English in the stead thereof. By this means the Governor hopes to take vengeance upon the bar as many of its members are but imperfectly acquainted with a language which they can only know from books ; few of the native in habitants ever having any occasion to speak it. To make the proclamation as insulting as possible, Coion ai BuN unY goes out of his way to remind the inhabi tants of St. Lucia that they are our colonists by right of conquest, and therefore he, as Governor, has power to deal with them as he pleases. We have stated this affair with all possible concise ness, and we believe with impartiality ; and we sha ll await patiently the decision of the Government and the people of England respecting it. That Colo nel BUNBURY ought to be recall e d, an d his proclamation abrogated, no honest Englishm an w ill dispute for an instant. But what reparation shall we make to the Judges and inhabitants of St. Lucia for the ;rose insult offered them ? By the packet-ship Horatio, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have received New yotk Papers to the 26th ult. inclusive, from which copious and interesting extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. By a second arrival we have received New Brunswick Journals to the 18th ult., with the Governor's speech on di sso l v i ng th e L eg i s lative As . , - s embly on the 9th. Thi s d ocumen t w ill also found in mother column. In th e mean ti me we i n sert here as more appropriate, the loyal reso l u tions adopted the Assembly immediately before its dissolution. These resolutions were preceded by a grant of 10,000/ out of the Provincial Treasury, to defray the expense of the war in Canada : FRIDAY, M %RCN 9. Mr. Partelow moved the following resolutions, which we, adopted by the House : " 1. Resolved, that this House is duly impressed with the forcible appeal of the Constitutional Association of the city of Montreal, in Lower Canada, on behalf of the loyal inhabitants of British and Irish origin resident in that province. " 2. That this House cloth most sincerely sympathize with these loyal brethren, and doth unfeignedly regret the unfor tunate position in which they have been placed by a revolu tionary French faction, professedly bent on the dismember ment of that valuable and important colony from the British empire. "3. That the accomplishment of such daring and wicked design would not only be destructive of the rights and interests of the British population of that Province, but would also endanger that strong connexion so happily existing between the other American Colonies and the mother country; and, in the opinion of this House, would be regarded as a grievous calamity by every virtuous and enlightened citizen of the neigh bouring Republic. 4. That is bile this House cloth freely admit that suffi c'ent causes may have heretofore existed to have justified an _ippeal to the Home Government for an enlargement of the vonstitutional powers of the representative of the people of that province ; yet it cloth at the same time entertain the opinion that the extravagant claims made by the Assembly, And so perniciously reiterated, were such as could never be complied with, without giving up to the French dominant party the absolute control of the Provincial Government, and thereby inevitably inducing an entire prostration of Bri tish interests, and the abandonment of the province by British inhabitants. 5. " That being deeply impressed with the relative im portance and value of that province as an integral portion of he British American possessions, it is the opinion of this i louse, and one which it is called upon at this time to express —that prompt and effective measures should be adopted by Her Majesty's Government to reform the Constitution and customs of that important Province, by assimilating the laws and usages thereof to those of the neighbouring Colonies, and by abolishing the French language from all Legislative and Judicial proceedings. " 6. That this House cannot venture to recommend the re union of the Canadas, without having first ascertained the views of the Legislature of the Upper Province, on that im portant question. " 7. That this House entertain a high sense of the inflexi ble Loyalty which has distinguished such of the French in h ibitants as have adhered to the Royal Standard through the late rebellion. " 8. That an bumble Address be presented to his Excel lency the Lieutenant-Governor, praying that his Excellency will be pleased to transmit the foregoing resolutions to her M-jetty's Government, to be laid at the foot of the Throne." The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received. They confirm the advices received *rom Bordeaux on Saturday relative to the defeat of the Carlists in the vicinity of Barbastro on the 6th. The rebels who escaped were attacked a second time on the 7th, and again defeated, with the loss of three hundred prisoners. Extracts from the French Journals will be found in another column. We have received advices from Lisbon, of the 10th inst., by the Tagus steamer, which arrived at Fal tnnuth on Saturday. On the 4th her Most Faithful Alajesty ainna MARIA solemnly accepted the New Constitution and dissolved the Cortes. The whole line from the Palace of Necessidades to the Hall of the Cortes was guarded by regular troops and lined vith spectators ; but though there was firing of guns, and ringing of bells, and waving of flags, and a goodly host of heralds, pursuivants, kings-at-arms, led-horses, and state-carriages, there was no real enthusiasm among the spectators. The QUEEN and her Royal Consort went through the ceremony very well, and greatly to the satisfaction of the Cortes. Having on alighting at the Hall of the Deputies been met and conducted to the Throne by a deputation of thirteen Members, the QUEEN received from the President of the Council, and read to the Chamber, the following Address : " Gentlemen—l come to the bosom of the national repre sentation, to take a solemn oath to the political Constitution of :lie monarchy, which the constituent Cortex have decreed. I sincerely congratulate myself on the arrival of this so greatly desired day. The work of the national wisdom, the fruit of four long and assiduous labours, is about to supply the fir s t of our wants by cementing the union of the Portuguese family— ,n union which I am firmly convinced will restore order, peace, and public prosperity. " At this solemn moment when (as God is my witness) I .nn about to bind myself irrevocably to the fundamental law hich you have decreed and I hare accepted, I feel the sweetest consolation in announcing to you that I will begin 'o carry it into effect by the exercise of one of the most pre cb)us prerogatives it concedes to me—by enjoining perpetual oblivion of all the fatal dissensions which have afflicted the na- tion. Thus, Sirs, the new social compact, by uniting all my subjects, will form the happiness of a generous nation, by so many titles deserving of it. Thus united around my consti tutional Throne, the whole Portuguese people will concur towards the consolidation of the fundamental law of the mo narchy, which I freely accept and swear to maintain." The form of the oath was then handed to her by the Minister of the Interior, which she signed without hesitation. The President of the Cortes then pre sented her MAJESTY with a Bible open, upon the the text of which she laid her hand, and repeated aloud the words of the oath. When she had concluded, she took the Bible in her own hands, and administered the oath to the KING. This done, the PRESIDINT addressed their MAJESTIES in the name of the Cortes co ngratulating them upon the bright prospect which their acceptance of the Constitution opened to the Polluguese nation. When he resumed hiS scat the QUEEN dissolved the Constituent C or t es i n t h e following words : " Messrs. Deputies of the Portuguese nation ! By my ac ceptance of and oath to the Constitution of the Monarchy, the form of the Government has been definitely fixed. Sirs, you have discussed and decreed laws of the greatest importance, and the repeated proofs you have constantly given of the inte rest you take in the stability of my Throne, of your fidelity to me. and zeal for the good of my subjects, claim my sincerest ac knowledgme nts. The Session of the General Extraordinary and Constitu tional Cortes of the Portuguese nation is closed." The QUEEN th en re ti re d i n t h e same or d er i n ..vhich she entered the Chamber. On the Gth the amnesty promised by her MA JESTY a ppeared in the Dia r i o . I t i s couc h e d i n t h e following terms : Every political event which shall have taken pla ce since the 10th of September 1836, shall remain in perpetual oblivion and absolute silence. All pending p rocee di ngs ar i s i ng from t h e same shall be considered as null and void. All such per sons who in consequence of those events are out of Portugal, may return to their country. Such military men as took part in the said events shall be restored to actual service after they take the oath to the Constition of 1838. This amnesty does not include the restoration of civil employes. PAMELLA, TERCEIRA, SALDANIIA, and all refu ,,ees involved in the late Chartist rebellion may now return to Portugal. We have no doubt but that the KING, Constitutionalist though he now be, will be very glad to see them. There was a distribution of Royal favours on this occasion. Viscounts. DAs AN TAS and REGUENDO were created Counts, as was likewise the Baron BOMFINI. JOHN D'OLIVIERA, the Financier, was created a Baron ; and on retiring from t h e Ministry, SA DA BANDEIRA is to have a dukedom. The following is a copy of the project of law, sanc tioned by the Cortes, and signed by the QUEEN, re establishing the Oporto Wine Company for a period of twenty years. As it is of great importance to Bri tish merchants, we give it entire : " Article 1. The general company for the culture of the vines in Upper Douro, suppressed by the law of the 30th May, 1834, is again established for the period of twenty years. This company will, however, merely have the right of proving and lotting the wines of Upper Douro, marking the casks, and issuing transit permits, according to the laws of the 17th May and 20th December. 1822, modified by the resolutions of the 6th December, 1824, and 11th November, 1825, by which the mode of proving the wines was prescribed. " Art. 2. Such wines only as shall have been approved of, Ind furnished with a permit by the company, will be allayed to be exported throughout the bar of Oporto. " § The wine at present in store at Oporto, Villa Nova da Gaia, and in the Douro, shall be manifested im mediatel y after the public a ti on of this law ; and if previously qualified. may be exported through the bar of Oporto either with or without a permit. _ _ " Art. 3. As a compensation for the expenses to which the Company will be put in proving and lotting the wines, brand_ ,ng casks, and issuing permits, they shall be entitled to levy 400 refs up on each pipe of wine receiving a permit.

We have advices from Madrid to the Bth inst. in clusive. They are of no politicalrimportance. Fears were entertained in the capital that some of the Carlist bands would take possession of the palace of the Es curial, which it appears is oply guarded by some thirty or forty soldiers ! PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF THE DORCHESTER LABOURERS. This morning, according to previous arrangement, the Com mittee of the Trades appointed to conduct the procession which was to escort the Dorchester Labourers to the dinner given them by the London Trades', met at the Horns' Tavern, Kennington, for the 'purpose of allotting a space for the form ing of each Trade, which was done by boards, on which was the number of the company or trade. By eight o'clock, a great number of persons had arrived, those intending to join the procession being distinguished by wearing a bit of crimson silk ribbon on their left breast. By nine o'clock, there could not be fewer than 10,000 persons assembled, and more were pouring in from every quarter. The Dorchester Labourers, five in number, arrived soon after that hour in an open landau and four ; they were received with deafening cheers, which lasted for a considerable time, and which they acknowledged by taking off their hats and bowing. The men are good looking middle-aged men, with one ex ception, and he is a respectable looking old man ; they were well dressed, but not at all in an ostentatious manner. At 10, the various trades had arranged themselves in their allotted places, and the landau was driven up and down be tween the open spaces; they were loudly cheered by each class as they passed. That ceremony over, a rocket was fired as a signal for tine march. The men then formed into a line according to the ar rangements previously made —each trade being preceded by a band of music and their flags. Many of them were very splendid silk flags, with the arms of the trade beautifully em blazoned on them. One beautful little flag had the inscrip tion on it, of "The Queen's Guards— The People." The procession was an enormously long one, and though the men walked four abreast and close, the leaders of it were at the distance of a mile before the Dorchester Labourers, who brought up the rear, had started. It was calculated that not less than between 6,000 and 7,000 men were in the procession. From Kennington-common, they proceeded by Kennington cross, \Valcot-place, Westminster-bridge, Whitehall, Char ing-cross. When the bead of the procession had reached this point the laudau of the labourers was still on Westminster-bridge. Along the whole line of the procession, the crowd anxious to witness it was immense, and loudly cheered the labourers ts they passed. From Charing-cross they proceeded along Pall-mall, up Waterloo-place, through Regent-street, Oxford-street, and Tottenham-court-road into Bedford-square, then through Rus sell-square into Gray's- Inn-road, and thence through Penton ville to Copenhagen-fields, where marquees had been erected for the dinner. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY ( THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Dutch Government have opened a negotiation for a new loan for 8,500,000 florins, at 5 per cent. interest, to be inscribed at par; the payments are to be made at 50 0-1 on the 15th June, and 50 0-6 on the 15th September ; the inte rest commences on the Ist April. Consols opened this moaning at the leaving off prices of Saturday, 934 i for Money and Account; Exchequer Bills, 67 prem. ; India Bonds, 73 ; Bank Stock, 205 k 206 ; India Stock, 2681. In the Foreign Market, it is settling-day, but the chief part of the Account was wound up on Saturday ; consequently there remains little to be done this day, and there is no doubt that the settlement will pass off well. Although Spanish Ac tive comes higher from Paris, 2 l : , it is heavy this morning; opened at 201, afterwards was done at 20k, at present, 20i- 4. This being Easter-Monday, very little business is doing in either of the Markets.

Exchange at Rio Janeiro, 27 to 271-, on the 28th January. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for Account, 93i I. Mr. Sergeant Adams, DTs. T. Barber Beaumont, and Mr. Conant, had an interview with Lord John Russell, at the Home Office, on Saturday lnst, on the subject of the re- ' solutions agreed to at the recent Special County Courts of ' Middlesex Magistrates, upon the subject of restraining the sale of spirituous liquors in the night time, and on Sunday morning. Young Adams, who was acquitted at the last Bucks Assizes of the charge of murdering his father, is again an in mate of Aylesbury gaol, being committed for threatening the life of the old shepherd who gave evidence against him on the trial. He was examined also on Saturday on suspicion of robbing his late father, and remanded for a week. —Herts Reformer. At the meeting of the Norwich Town Council on Friday, it was announced that the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury had awarded to Mr. Fitzroy Kelly an annuity of 481. a year, as a compensation for the loss of the office of Steward of the late Corporation. Miss Cooper, who will appear this evening at the Haymarket, belonged to the Pavilion Company some seasons ago. Miss Elphinstone comes immediately from Sunderland, and though her advantages may be heightened by the excite ment of provincial criticism, yet, in point of face, form, stature and power of expression, she gives great hopes of adding largely to the resources of iour metropolitan drama. Harley has transferred his valuable and popular services from Braham to Macready, and will appear on Satur day next as Mawworm in the Hypocrite, and Sir Harry, in High Life below Stairs, both being parts that no actor of the present day can more judiciously or effectively perform. We hail this engagement as the most desirable that could have been made for filling up a marked and serious void in the comic strength of the Company. REVIEW OF THE LIVERPOOL SIIARE MARKET FOR THE WEEK ENDING APRIL 12.—The business of the pre sent week opened very languidly, and during Monday and Tuesday and the greater part of Wednesday there was scarcely a transaction of importance effected in any'clescription of stock, though London and Brighton and Manchester and Bir mingham were offering on lower terms. Towards the conclu sion of the last-mentioned day a better demand was felt for Great Western and London and Brighton, but as holders were endeavouring to regain the reduction previously submit ted to, very little business was done. This morning's market was considerably brisker, and fully the prices of this day week were obtained, and in some instances an advance was realized, Great Western being I, and London and Southampton (new) 11 per share higher. STATE OF TRADE.—The home demand continues dull. Worsted goods are moving very slowly, and stocks will increase, if the present policy which the London houses ate adopting is persevered in, as they are buying very sparingly. Wools, it is thought, will maintain their present prices. Little is doing in shipping business, except by consignment. The demand for spring gloves is tolerably brisk.—Leicester shire Mercury. RUNAWAY MATCH.--Married, at Gretna Green, ScOtland, the Bth of April, Guildford Onslow, Esq., son of the Hon. Colonel Onslow, and nephew of the present Earl of Onslow, of Alresford, Hants, to Rosa Anna, daughter of Ge neral Onslow, of Stoughton House, Huntingdonshire.— Morning Post.—[The parties passed through Carlisle at nine o'clock in the morning in a carriage and four, post horses, and returned in the same way about one o'clock, changing. horses on each occasion at the Bush Hotel. It is said that the parson got SOL for his fee.]:—Carlisle Patriot. 11 rf- \. . ELECTION OF CHURCHWA • a ~ This morning a Vestry of this parish was a, Ai: pit>, election o f Churchwardens, who were nomilat day last. aft V 1 S IV4 ' Mr. PAYNE proposed Mr. Staunton, A question having been raised as to the possibility of 41eing a poll now, The VICAR (the Rev. H. Dukingfitli) t-a:d, by a (7ecision of the King's Bench, a day's notice wr.,;icquired for a poll. Mr. HAYWARD proposed Mr. Cuff. Mr. EVANS proposed Mr. Fincham. Mr. WILSON proposed Sergeant Mereweathor.—(A laugh). Mr. PEARCE withdrew his name from th'e List . of nomi. nations. ST. MARTIN'S IN THE (THIS DAY.) Mr. POUNCEY regretted much that Mr. Peanee had with drawn his name, because he wished all the evils of a poll— including the plurality of voting to be avoided by a: compro mise—and he thought Mr. Pearce would unite all pas ties. Mr. ABBOTT wished to propose Mr. G. Pouncey, lou't that gentleman's brother declared positively that he could not st. rye. Mr. WESTERTON proposed Mr. Simpson. Mr. PEAkCE proposed Mr. Lang. Mr. James' name was withdrawn.. Mr. SIMPSON said he wished sincerely his name to be with drawn.—(Cries of " No, no.") Mr. WILES recommended a compromise, that Messrs. Simpson and Staunton should withdraw and settle it among themselves, to preserve the peace of the parish.—(No, no, and Hear, hear.) Mr. PITT would strenuously oppose all co rpromise. He made a violent attack upon the New Poor-law, anti said be should determinately resist the election of any gentleman tee Churchwarden who advocated that abominable measure. The VICAR read the list of gentlemen who bad been pro posed, which was as follows :—Mr. Simpson, Mr. Staunton, Mr. Cuff, Mr. Fincham, Mr. Sergeant Mereweather, and Mr. Lang. Of these gentlemen only two ( Messrs. Simpson and Lan g ) arc of Liberal politics; the. remaining four are Tories. A long discussion ensued as to the possibility of ob viating the necessity for a poll, by effecting a compromise. Both Mr. Lang and Mr. Simpson declared (as did their movers and seconders) that they would, one of them, withdraw, if the opposite party would withdraw all but one, on their side. The proposal, however, was not acceded to. The VICAR said Ire should have been most happy could any compromise have settled the business amicably, without in volving the parish in all the inconveniences of a disputed elec tion. As it was he had only to take the show of hands, which he declared to be decidedly against Mr. Sergeant Mereweather and Mr. Staunton. A poll was demanded on b:half of each gentleman proposed. The meeting then proceeded to the election of the other parish officers. In respect to the office of beadle, A VEST:IYMAN asked what duties the beadle had to perform? The Clerk read an extract from the report of a Committee which had been appointed en this subject in the following terms :—" The duties of the beadle are to give notice when and where a vestry is to be held, to attend it when met, and to execute its orders—to act in a subordinate capacity in assisting tile churchwardens, guardians of the poor, overseers, and con stables, when ordered so to do, and generally to execute the orders of the vestry. They shall also attend the church half an hour before and during divine service, and take care shat no disturbance shall take place in or about the church, and do any parochial services required by the churchwardens." Mr. PITT moved that the election of one of the beadles (a vacancy having occurred) be deferred, arguing that there no necessity for more than one. The motion was, however, decidedly negatived. Three candidates were proposed for the vacant beadleship. named Smith, Stroud, and Cust. The show of hands was in favour of Smith. A poll was dereendA for Cust, hut the sense of the meet ing was loudly expressed against it. On the question of the Organist, Mr. DAVENPORT proposed that the salary (which had already been rcduced irons 90/. to 751.) be further reduced.—The proposal was unardinoesiy rejected. The Rev. CHAIRMAN bore high testimony to the chant( t .•r of the Organist, who had filled the effi,:e forty years. Thanks having been voted to the Vicar, for his gentlemanly conduct in the chair, the meeting separated. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. • The past week's arrivals of all descriptions of English grain were good, and of Oats f.om Ireland large; of Flour coastwise there was a considerable quantity. There was no variation Jo prices throughout the week. This niorning the fresh supp:ics of all kinds of Corn are fair, but the demand for every article has been slack. In the Wheat trade the best parcels sold to the m o b sters at ,ast is eek's prices, other qua litics were very difficult to sell, and rather lower ter.ns weresubmitted to. Barley for malting purposes is firm, and other descdptions, though slow in sale, have m.intained their 5,1 u,. Beans arc more pis ntiful than of late, but they support their former value. Peas of both kind; are with out variation. There has been a very dull sale for Oats to-day, as the quantity of Irish has for the present overstocked the market, and the factors are not disposed to take less prices. The heaviness in the Hour trade has induced the sellers to take. rather :over prices for All ii, parcels, but the top price is unaltered. ?BIDES ON BOARD OF sin?. Wheat, Red (old) 55 625.

Supplies to.day were good from most parts ; but owing to an increase of other vegetables, trade was dull. We quote prices, however, when we went to press, as being the same as last week. SEED MARKET.

C. has been saki at 49s 6d. this morning. THE MAIIKEiS IN THE HOLIDAYS. These being the Easter holidays, the leaclitm brokers are all out of town, and consequently there is no business doing either publicly or privately in the markets for Merchandise. We have not a singe public sale of any kind before Wednesday, and the sales for the after pait of this week, consist chiefly of small parcels of Mauritius, Bengal, and Havan nab Sugar, Rice, Pepper, Cassia Lignea, Ac. The arriva:s last week being somewhat considerable, induce us to expect more public sales next week than we have had for a little time past. The cessation caused by the holidays may also, perhaps, contribute to an increase. Goods en tered for export on the increase, and the delivevies of Sugar, hum, and Coffee have, during the past week, been somewhat extensive. We have a public sale of 6,362 chests E. I. Indigo on Wedneeday next. NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, heats. 13. Our supply of Wheat from the country was large at Market to-day ; and we had also fair coasting arrivals, for which there was a moderate demand, and the sales made were at a decline of Is. per quarter on lad Saturday's rates. The arrivals of Barley are still small, but in its value we can note no alteration. Oats were in large supply, and prices the turn cheaper. In Malt we have little or nothing doing. Rye, unless of the finest quality, met a very heavy sale. White Prase a't-o were a shade lower. Other Grain remains without change. For Flour the sale was exceedingly dull, and our quotations with difficulty realized. "..CPI 1.. i ,, Wheat, Northumlierland - —q• .1 Norfolk anti Suffolk .---- Berwick and Scotch sss. h'li —s —,. .

Though supplies are not large, the favourable change which has taken place in the weather has had its usual effect, and the trade throughout the week has been very dull, at rates not quite so good as last quoted. The Liverpool and Wakefield Markets of Thursday were fiat, without material change in quotations. At our Corn Exchange to.day, the best descriptions of Wheat are held for the prices of our last ; but Irish and secondary qualities of English are the turn cheaper. Flour fully maintains late rat•s.
